Downtown Fort William Will Come Alive
THUNDER BAY – The annual Fort William Business District Fall Street Festival is set for Saturday September 7th. The annual event will feature music, a fashion show, food, and displays from both local groups and local businesses in the Fort William Downtown BIA.
It might be pushing the envelope a little as fall doesn’t officially arrive until September 21st, but that isn’t stopping the fun this Saturday.
Streets will be closed off on Saturday in the downtown south core so that the fun can happen.
The BIA shares, “In the plans are a full stage of entertainment with a Fashion show by Silhouette Boutique, performers from 4am in Thunder Bay Association, bands, Evolution, and much more”.
Tasty Food
Inside the Victoriaville Centre, local photographer Derek Halstead Silver will have some amazing photographs on display. Derek has captured a lot of Thunder Bay over the years with his camera. His photography offers a really neat insight into our city.
As well the Thunder Bay Public Library will have their ‘Buck a Bag’ sale of books happening inside the Victoriaville Centre.
Great Classic Cars
